FT300 data drift

I am using FT300+CB3.1+UR5. After calibration, zero sensor. the sensor data began to drift after hours of use.For instance, in Z axis, initial value was around 0 if not touching anything, after 2 hours of use , it became 10N even if it does not touch anything. Is this normal?Thank you

@jianlan_ the FT sensor signal can drift over time if the environmental conditions changes, temperature, pressure and humidity can induce a signal drift. It is normally recommended to do a sensor zero before each of your measurements. Ft sensor should not be used for long time measurements, however, it will be excellent in spontaneous measurements.
